Yehezkiel 43:24-27

43:24 You will present them before the Lord, and the priests will scatter salt on them ¹  and offer them up as a burnt offering to the Lord.

43:25 “For seven days you will provide every day a goat for a sin offering; a young bull and a ram from the flock, both without blemish, will be provided. 43:26 For seven days they will make atonement for the altar and cleanse it, so they will consecrate it. ²  43:27 When the prescribed period is over, ³  on the eighth day and thereafter the priests will offer up on the altar your burnt offerings and your peace offerings; ⁴  I will accept you, declares the sovereign Lord.”

[43:26]  ² tn Heb “fill its hands.”

[43:27]  ³ tn Heb “and they will complete the days.”

[43:27]  ⁴ sn The people also could partake of the food of the peace offering (Lev 3).
